At 22 years old, Tyla can boast of being one of the great superstars of South African pop. ‘Water’ was the first song to win the Grammy for Best African Musical Performance, and ‘Truth or Dare’ hasn’t stopped playing in the last year either.
Both hits, and others like ‘Jump’, belong to Tyla Seethal’s self-titled debut album, which today, November 8, is reissued under the title ‘Tyla+’ with the inclusion of three new songs.
The lead single from the reissue of ‘Tyla’ has been ‘Push 2 Start’, a song that once again mixes the typical South African amapiano rhythm with an unmistakable R&B flavor in the vocal melody. It’s today’s Song Of The Day.
Actually released weeks ago, ‘Push 2 Start’ should be another surefire hit for Tyla. Sammy Soso is behind his tasty production, on which Seethal, together with his allied composers, write a melody that is once again irresistible.
The video clip for ‘Push 2 Start’ is the real news from Tyla today, and evokes the sensuality of two very famous music videos in the world of pop, those for ‘These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ by Jessica Simpson and ‘Crazy in Love’ by Beyoncé.
